Fwd: BBC Video: Is clog dancing making a comeback?
From Jan Christensen
A fascinating four-and-a-half-minute flash mob clog dance in Newcastle, England.
Jan
Strictly Come Dancing [the UK's Dancing With the Stars] managed to boost the fortunes of ballroom dancing in the UK. Now there are plans to revive a traditional folk dance for the north of England - clog dancing.
When Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly first unleashed sequin-clad, fake-tanned ballroom dancers back onto our TV screens in 2004, no one predicted how it would change the fortunes of ballroom dancing. The nation fell in love with glitter balls and the ballroom again.

From Thierry
Season's Greetings Everyone,
One of our community member, Raji, lost everything on wednesday when a fire broke out and destroyed every inches of her apartment while she was at work. Everything she owned except for her car and the clothes she wore that day has been destroyed. She needs our support. If you would like to donate clothes (size 14-16 pants), kitchen and bath items, furniture or just a financial donation, which is probably more helpful right now, please contact me by email at: t.revillon@verizon.net or by phone at 845-473-4324
May you all be safe this holiday season and forever as well.
Peace be with you and your loved ones,
Thierry
